We live in completely unprecedented times. A microscopic virus that cannot be seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled, has brought the entirety of humanity to its knees. It is as if the Angel of Death depicted in the Biblical book of Exodus has been unleashed upon the whole world. And 21st Century man, with all of his advances in technology and abilities, is completely powerless against it.
But many people do not believe this. They believe that we should have handled COVID-19 the same way we do with any flu. These people believe that the lockdown, which has caused so much economic hardship, was completely unnecessary.
Those who make such arguments are showing their complete ignorance of the threat we are facing.
